Daylilies are the stars of the garden in June and July. This is a spider-type.
The range of colors is always expanding in the daylily world.
Some are even fragrant.
Crocosmia "Lucifer" -- a gift for my creepy garden from Fay.
The buds have an exotic, skeletal look to them.
A bit badly in need of weeding -- but it has a sort of messy cottage garden feel to it.
Through the gate to the field where the wild raspberries are flourishing.
It's been dry so the berries are quite small -- but exceptionally sweet.
So many just beyond my reach.
The field is fragrant with the sweet smell of milkweed blooms.
I've read that the still-green buds are an acceptable broccoli substitute but haven't tried it.
In spite of last night's rain, the branch is almost dry.
In the garden, the squash is swelling.
Zucchini is already bigger than I like it -- maybe zucchini bread?
Corn is past knee-high and it's not yet the Fourth of July.
The Cherokee Purples are looking great. The tomatoes are the pampered darlings of the garden, cosseted with mulch and drip hose
And the creepy garden has gone all cheerful on me -- where did those pale pink daylilies come from anyway? What was I thinking!
